DR.. Wagner Go.
sREOIALIsFs,

We offer no apology for deyoting so much time
and attention to THIS much neglected class of
diseases believing that no condition of humanity
Is too wretched to merit the sympathy and best
services OF the profession to which we belong
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, Is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to his race
THAI the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication excels in any other branch of his pro-
iession. And, fortunately for humanity, the day
is dawning when the false phIisnthrophy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law. to die uncared
for, has passed away.
YOUNG MEN
Who may be suffering from the effects of youth
full follies or indiscretions, will do well TO avail
themselves of this the greatest boon ever laid
at the alter of suffering humanity. DIR. WAC
NER will guarantee to forfeit FIVE hundred dol
lars for every case of seminal weakness or pri-
vate disease of any kind or character which he
undertakes and falls to cure.
MIDDLE-AGED MEN.
There are many men OF the age OF 30 to 60 who
are troubled with too frequent excavations Of
the bladder, often accompanied by a slight
OF the system in a manner the patient cannot
account for. On examining the urinary deposits
a ropy sediment will often be found. and some
lines small particles OF albunIen will appear, or
tle color will be OF akin or milkish hue, again
changing to a dark and turbid appearance.
There are many men who die of this dihiculty
ignorant OF the cause, which Is the second stage
OF seminal weakness. DIR. Wagner will guaran-
tee a cure In all such cases and a healthy restora-

never to waste good dinner on woman.
They have absolutely no idea OF the deli

like is lots Of tinsel, gold, cut glass, colored
lights, gorgeous ices, graceful champagne

these things and they don't give a rap for

dinner, you stand very fair chance OF hav-
Ing your meal spoiled unless he is a very
old friend. IL you know him very we'll,
you may indulge IN long periods Of silence

NOVEL USE FOR a BUsrLE.
A Coal HEAVIER Finds 1t Rather
Painful Shoulder Pad.
Norwich Conn Bulletln,l

Norwich Conn., Bulletin,l
Some Norwich boys found woman's
hustle last week and being inspired by some
lower power put 1t In coal carriers basket
In place of the canvas shoulder pad he had
been accustomed to use. When the coal
carrier went out the next morning with his
first load OF coal, his eye fell upon the
strange thing for which he had no name.
"Phat is this, Moike ~ he said to the
driver; and although both of them were
family men they were sorely puzzled. Mike
replied:
,'sure, / dunno, never seed the likes of
1t before 20
Not finding his shoulder protector the
coal carrier saw in 1t novel substitute for
1t, and he said
"Begorra. Moike, have it! This is a
patent shoulder piece the boss has got me,n
and he put the old hustle on his shoulder
and finding that It was a fair fit, tied the
string around his neck He worked with
the new shoulder protector all day, to the
amusement Of all who recognized the bus
tie In such high use. Pat noticed that the
new protector made him a source of con-
siderable curiosity, but he did not learn the
truth until he showed 1t to the boss In the
evening, when thanking him for the gift,
he said:
"Tbe inventor of this meant well, but he
never carried coal. These wire cords are
that narrer that they cut like a knife; but
beEorra, the thort is q good one, and / can
make one ov II that'll woruk!"
His employer Informed him that he had
been subjected to practical joke; that his
shoulder protector was hustle that had
seen its day and been laid away.
Mike, the driver, smiled and said ats
niver seen greater day than this. Twenty
tons of coal have been onto It, I'll bet a
better man niver wore one than Pat Done

CURED BY MUSIC.
People Suffering from Tarantuia Bite
Supposed TO Recover by Dancing.

People Suffering from Tarantula Bite
Supposed ro Recover by Dancing.
In southern Italy the bite of the taran-
tula is still supposed by the ignorant peas
antry to produce symptoms that are durable
by music alone. In the books Of twenty
five or thirty years ago this was given as a
fact, says the New York Post, and from an
old work the following account of the symp-
toms of the bite is taken:
"The bite of this creature occasions a
pain which at first resembles the sti ,g Of
bee or wasp. In a few hours the patient
feels numbness, and the part affected is
marked with small, livid circle, which
soon after rises into very painful swelling;
shortly after this he falls into profound
sadness, breatbes with much difficulty; his
pulse grows feeble, and his
senses fail. At length he looses all
senses and motion, and, according to
some naturalists, expires unless speedily
relieved. But these symptoms come on
somewhat differently, according to the
nature OF the tarantula aud the disposition
of the patient. An aversion for black and
blue and, on the contrary, a predilection
for white and red are among the unaccoun-
table symptoms Of this disease. All the
medical assistance hitherto discovered
consists In some chirurgical appica-
tlons to the wound ond In cordials
and sudorifics, which are of little
service, but music-which reason, per-
haps could never have pointed Quits said
to be infinitely more efllcacious. No sooner
has the person affected lost his sense and
motion than musician tries several times
on an instrument, and when he has hit on
one whose tones and modulations suit the
patient, he Is Immediately observed to make
u faint motion; his fingers begin to move In
cadence, then his arms, next his legs, and
by degrees his whole body; then he rises
on his legs and begins to dance,
bis strength and activity still in-
creasing. Some will continue dancing
six hours without intermlssOn. After this
the patient is put to bed, and when he is
Judged sufficiently recruited from his first
dauco he is alluied out OF bed by the first
tune Tor second. This exercise is reiterated
for several days ssucGessively-seVGno or eight
ut least-in which time the patient finds
himself very much fatlgued, and finally he
RECEIVERS, without having the slightest rec,
ollettioBof having danced"
The poison of all insects is much eXag-
gerated. The bite OF the southern tarau.
tula may AZ times be fatal, but It Is per
baps as much due to the physical condition
OF the patient as TO anything else, anl
death from a spider bite Is an eytrGne
rarity.
